agreed

It's my favourite part of the video almost :)

Oh behave its not bad

I agree

I know what not understanding your audience looks like

I'd be first in the queue to pre-order an Accurascale class 40.

How about a124 or some of the other DMU. That haven't been done Lima Hornby and bachmann have all done the 101,

A modern 58 would be great.

Class 153

They have already done a Class 92

I’m making my own one of those from a kit - more fun! As they’re all extinct, so no original from which to scan and take measurements, don’t expect any company to produce a new RTR one.

saw the little tease and got excited.... next time maybe

The other loco would be the class 73/9 to run with the mk 5 Sleeper Coaches

What you wear while you wait is entirely up to you!

I would love a GWR or fgw DMU 😊

6

All axle pickup and drive for optimum traction and road holding.

But why do we need a 44/45/46? Bachmann and Heljan already make good models of those. Also Bachmann do a fantastic Class 40!

And Bachmann and Hornby make good 08 shunters. No lights, sure, but other than that what else do you need??

The markets full of multiple sources for things. Isn’t competition great.

@@mccarronfamily what’s the point? Shouldn’t companies invest that tooling in something we don’t already have??

@@modelrailfan37 Competition is the point, which is good for the consumer. Why do you think the Bachmann 31 is £169 and not their more 'normal' price of about £60 more for a new tooling? Accurascales 31, that's why.

They model has been in development for 3 years, way before Cavalax announcement and they wont bin a project they spent thousands on

Yes, bit we don't need another class 60 the Hornby one is fine. I'm quite happy with the Lima one that I have a number of.

@user-wo6qn3vf9n they said its to go with there wagons. They obviously see demand...

So it better be good, with their visit to the manufacturer to get all the measurements and spec. of the real thing!!

NO …. load o shite

Why? Bachmann make one that is perfectly fine, and Heljan just made one too…

@@modelrailfan37 Let’s hope they’ve chosen something that needs a ultra detailed touch and not something Bachmann produce, a class 08 with directional lighting would be amazing or a class 73 that is faultless or a class 58 would be a very good shout.

Early BR to now is 70 years. The big four was at most 25...

@@melanierhianna Hi Melani, thanks for your reply. I don't disagree with you. My point, if it was a point, more of an observation, was that it would be nice to see Accurascale or whoever, produce upto 2024 model standards coaching stock instead of more and more diesels, plus mk1, 2 2A, 3, etc, coaches. .I'm not 100 percent sure but it seems to me that another, judging by the responses to this video, maybe more, manufacturers also produce this class 60?. I was born in 1960, so only vague memories of steam, it was more Hymeks and Westerns. I went down the steam route because of my dad, it was something I could enjoy with him, but there is something prehistoric about a steam locomotive, perhaps even the early diesels!

do you not think the market is already awash with steam era subjects ?? ESPECIALLY G.W.R !!

@tonyfearn2452 Hi Tony. Yes there are lots of steam era models around, after all the model railway industry started when there was nothing else!. But I'm talking about Accurascale making steam era models, other manufacturers do yes, but if you watch and read reviews, some of them are pretty poor. Sorry Hornby, the main stay of my younger self, but their latest Black 5 is, well, not great, shall we say, and a lot of money to boot. If you're going to spend your hard earned cash, at least let it be worth it.

Luckily accurascale haven't taken any money down on orders for over a year - you pay on delivery

@@mccarronfamily I paid up front on my credit card for pre-orders while I had the money, that way I would also get the money back if anything unfortunate happened.

@@mccarronfamily Not correct. I had to pay for my Hattons models last month

@@modelrailwaynoob When they were in transit / nearly here ? Exactly my point? You pay when they get here, not when you order.

@mccarronfamily Not what you said. All my other orders had to be paid for at the time of ordering

Cos this one;s accurascale mate, so it's packed with features, will be accurate and much cheaper than the alternative too!

That’s a bit like saying Toyota make fine cars. Why on earth would any other manufacturer bother making a car?

@@mccarronfamily because there is more demand for cars than toy trains?! Your comparing something that almost everyone owns (a car, or at least over half the population of most wealthy countries), to something only select people own, especially when you get down to specific classes of locos

@@modelrailfan37 Everyone moans that supply of model trains is terrible and you pay over the odds for things that are never in stock - clearly demand outstrips supply in model trains, so again, competition is good

Because it’s easy!😢

No chance, SLW have produced the best in the business. 😊

@@WillBraddock27056 I know but I can't seem to get one delivered.

Why? Didnt Hornby have an issue with the front side of the body splitting on their current Class 60?

Was Hornsby's tooling for there class 60 a Lima tooling and horby re motor it ,​@@1701_FyldeFlyer

@@1701_FyldeFlyer what I’m saying is that there has been a slightly concerning level of coincidence that a few of accurascales diesels have had Bachmann or Hornby come along and release their version of it not long before accurascale does. Both the class 37 and the upcoming 31 have had Bachmann come along and make their own version right near the release window. And Hornby have shown they aren’t above doing that either (see the large prairie, terrier, and lion). Hopefully I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see other manufacturers make either a new tooled class 60 or a rerelease of their old version around the time accurascales version is nearly complete

​@Alpha-oo8 both bachmann and accurascale 31 and 37s have been in development for years before either announced. There not going to drop products that have 1000s invested in.

@@ethmister like I said, I hope I’m wrong. But you have to admit, it’s a freakish coincidence that it’s happened twice. And if it happens again…
